I don't mean to harp on this, but doesn't anyone even test changes before
putting them in the kernel? There have been many driver changes that had no
chance of working. Just a few minutes ago I got a message about the
starfire driver crashing the kernel during the probe routine. This wasn't an
operational problem which might only show up with some hardware and specific
configurations, it showed that the driver has never even been tried.
